<p>Next week, I'll be registering for courses at my college. While there, I am also taking a placement exam for French. I'm not horribly concerned, as I've been taking French for five years, but I am somewhat curious as to what will be on the placement test. Does anyone have any insight?</p>
<p>uh...dont try as hard as you can/dont score as high as you are capable of.</p>
<p>sounds like bad advice, i know, but if you do well and get placed in a very challenging college french course (i assume college french classes are more difficult than hs, duh), it will only make your freshman year that much more difficult/stressfull. im sure you would agree that any amount of review would be helpful and it will be one less class to worry about (less new stuff/review = more free time, which would be very helpful during freshman year for friend making)</p>
<p>The most credit I can get is14 credit hours. I would still have to take a 200 level language lab, and start on 300 level course work after that. I need to do as well as possible. yes, it may make my freshman year a bit more stressful, but in order to graduate on time with my double major, I need to place out of as much French as possible.</p>
<p>I took an online french test for my school and scored pretty high surprisingly. So I don't have to take elementary or intermediate french. I only went over all the verb forms (subjonctif/conditional etc) beforehand so that I knew how to use them and not mix them up. But alot of the vocab on the test were words that I had never heard before. Don't stress too much BBret you've been taking french for 5 years so you should be fine just review a little.</p>
<p>You could always buy (or borrow from the library) a Princeton Review French book or something like that; I can't guarantee that that's the same stuff that'll be on your test, but it couldn't hurt, especially if you need a place to start.</p>
<p>yeah i am also a little concerned about my french language placement test. not really looking forward to taking language in college. not really interested in it. well..just going to see how it works out.</p>
<p>Just an update- I took the placement test, and passed with flying colors! I got 14 credit hours, the max. Hooray!</p>
